Press release | Zorgring Partners with Zivver to Enhance the Transfer of Healthcare Data

Zivver’s suite of products will enhance email communication for healthcare professionals and patients ensuring data is transmitted securely and confidentially.

October 2024 - Zorgring, the Regional Cooperation Organization (RCO) of healthcare parties in Northern Holland, has announced its partnership with secure communications platform  Zivver. This collaboration aims to ensure that sensitive information between regional partners, employees, and patients is optimally protected. 

Zorgring provides ICT solutions such as secure mail, call manager, network and system administration to the healthcare industry, facilitating the secure transfer of data and collaboration between providers, hospitals and other institutions in the region. The organization plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency and security of data exchange within healthcare. Zivver complements Zorgring’s objectives by further preventing data breaches and ensuring secure email communication, while also adhering to strict EU security regulations. 

The partnership is set to help prevent human error, the leading cause of data breaches, and enhance email security. Florian Visser, director of Zorgring, stated: "We conducted a market comparison, and Zivver best suited the wishes and requirements of the different types of partners in the region. It offers the option of sending secure emails in a user-friendly way, preventing data leaks and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. We have confidence in this collaboration and look forward to a successful migration process in the region.” 

Switching to Zivver provides a more robust and scalable solution for the entire region. At a time when email security is legally required for organizations to properly protect sensitive information, this is crucial. Wouter Klinkhamer, CEO of Zivver, emphasizes: "More attention is being paid to securing sensitive information and preventing data leaks due to human errors. Especially with the arrival of NIS2, which identifies the prevention of human errors as an essential measure, using a secure network with transport security is not enough.’ 

"We are proud that Zorgring, like other RCOs that have carried out selection processes in recent years, has chosen Zivver as a partner to help healthcare organizations find the right balance between security and user-friendliness and to ensure that the right information reaches the right person.” He concluded.
